The thread title is Walter W Davies.  However, the information that Sandra found matches the poster’s details. 

Regarding William adding a middle initial, it could possibly be just an initial not a full name (per the findagrave text). I worked with someone who coincidentally had a middle initial of W.  He told me that he didn’t have a full middle name - just the initial.  He was very blunt and honest; I believe he was telling the truth about the lack of a name.

The following link appears to be about William’s ship:

Note: I’ve never used the website before; I do not know if it is a trusted site.

Looking at the passenger list on Anc*try, shown under Wm’s(?) and Anne’s names is
Eliz. Do (ditto), age 23, Spinster
Coincidence that she was a Davies, or possibly related to Wm?
The ship arrived in Philadelphia 22 May 1855

Possibly Eliz.
